-many different destination addresses and ports.
-The 36 byte binary header appears before the data

-It contains: remote IP address, local IP address, remote port, and local port.
-The IP addresses are 16 bytes each in IPv6 format,
-the port addresses are 2 bytes each, all written in network (big-endian) order.
-On reads, the header gives the values from the incoming datagram,

-On writes, the header provides the destination for the resulting datagram,
